[mapserver-users] A Question of Group

[Bob Basques]

James,

Oops, I didn't see right off that you were using HTML legends, You can 
do the same as I described eariler, but you could also try something 
with DUMMY layers too, where you set up a layer purely for legend 
display (no real DATA definition)
